Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I limped due to a bad session. Probably should have raised.

Flop: (11 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

I like the flop, but I am looking to knock some of the field out here.

Turn: (10.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, CO calls, Hero calls.

I don't think anyone is going anywhere so I call. Should I have raised?

Here I am again at the river and frickin clueless.

Final Pot: 19.50 BB

1. raise pf from the button. rarely ever will i limp in CO or button.
2. i like the flop raise.
3. i raise the turn- what's with his stop and go, unless the T helped him.
4. well if he checks the river to me, because i raised him, then im betting. if your raise didnt phase him i think im calling.

What hands would SB raise with after all those limpers?

QTo? Doubt it. His VP$IP is pretty average, so I'm not sensing any really fishy hands here.

Hands he could have: AQ, KQs, 77 (maybe he didn't want the limpers to face 2 cold on the flop?).

It's a shame you don't have a better read on him. This is a cool hand.

Raise preflop, and raise the turn for value. Even if all the donks in between come along, they're still paying you money. Even if you think SB might have 2 pair, they're in the middle padding the pot for you if you're behind. River play depends on SB's actions.

Raise preflop!

Raise turn!

Bet river when SB checks to you with his crappy queen!

[xLukex]

SB didn't check the river to him.

SB only checked after the raise on the flop.

Anyways, calling *might* be the correct line, if you're going for overcalls. The stats show that the other 2 are pretty loose, but they may not be loose enough to call a double-sized turn raise. Who knows.

Let's get some more opinions. I want to know how to play these hands better.

I'm not too sure about that. We don't have a read that SB is a loose donk.

Hey, what do I know. It's just cards. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Post results! *hopes he's right*

SB lead out on the turn after our hero raised on the flop. SB's stats indicate he's not so loose to bet on the turn w/o what he feels is better hand. I don't believe SB's holding a monster but I certainly not going to asssume he's got total crap.
